The Broken Egg

By Anonymous

An egg, cracked, was a heart broken in two. Taken out of the container like a beginning between a man and woman, Starting with a white shell steady like a new relationship, Until it’s banged against a hard surface causing an internal Heartache. Time goes on as she peels away And digs deep to try and forget. But no matter how much she tries, it keeps coming. A yellow crumbly sphere starts to appear, Abruptly realizing everything will be okay, She’s breathes a sigh of relief, she can now move on.
